The Nukes reunite with original cast member Snapper for their only concert in Auckland for 2024, at New Lynn's boutique hotspot 'Workshop 3132'.
Catch the original 3 with JayP before they head to Australia to wow audiences at the 'Central Coast Ukulele Festival' in Australia.
Way back in 2008, three fully grown men banded together and embarked on a perilous musical journey with no particular destination.
Their mission? To write and perform original music using only the humble ukulele.
Thus, The Nukes were born and quickly they grew into a bonny wee thing, gaining a reputation across Australasia for boisterous live shows and impressive original material.
Riddled with optimism and fuelled by beer and bonhomie, David ‘Fingers of fire’ Parker, Ben ‘Country boy’ Collier and Dave ‘Snapper’ Thiele set the burgeoning parochial ukulele/folk scene on fire for a full, glorious decade.
And then..
Rumours swirled, accusations were levelled... Was Snapper doing a solo album? How many wives did Ben actually have? And was David really involved in the Church of constant sorrow?
Unfortunately nothing quite so scandalous had occurred, basically Snapper got tired and wanted to lie down for a bit.
So he did.
The Nukes trotted on, first with percussionist and beguiling vocalist Mike Burrows, then (and still) with flexible young Parker prodigy Jay P. But the question has always lingered, like a dog outside a butcher’s shop.. would the original three ever reunite?
Yes. The answer is yes.
You can catch them for one special night as they re-unite for a concert at New Lynn's little boutique hotspot 'Workshop 3132'
